# Statements and Conclusions Questions Latest Statements and Conclusions MCQ Objective Questions ## Question 1: A statement is given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Consider the statement and the conclusions: **Statement:** The city has witnessed a significant decrease in crime rates over the last year **Conclusion-I:** The police force has become more effective in preventing crime. **Conclusion-II:** Citizens now feel safer than they did a year ago. Which one of the following is correct? 1. Only Conclusion-1 follows 2. Only Conclusion-II follows 3. Both Conclusion-I and Conclusion-II follow 4. Neither Conclusion-l nor Conclusion-II follow **Answer:** (Detailed Solution Below) Option 4: Neither Conclusion-I nor Conclusion-II follow ## Statements and Conclusions Question 1 Detailed Solution The Correct answer is Option 4. **Key Points** Conclusion-I: "The police force has become more effective in preventing crime." The statement only mentions a decrease in crime rates, but it does not specify the reason for the decrease. It could be due to several factors, such as community programs or changes in law, and there is no direct link in the statement to the effectiveness of the police force. Therefore, Conclusion-I does not follow. Conclusion-II: "Citizens now feel safer than they did a year ago." While a decrease in crime rates might logically suggest that citizens feel safer, the statement does not mention the feelings or perceptions of citizens. Thus, Conclusion-II does not follow. Since neither conclusion can be directly inferred from the statement, neither Conclusion-I nor Conclusion-II follows. **Hence Option 4 is Correct.** ## Question 2: A statement is followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions and decide which of them logically follows: **Statement:** After joining, Municipal Commissioner told to people of city "A" - "My first and foremost task is to beautify this city like Indore." **Conclusions:** 1. The people of city "A" are not aware about the present condition of the city. has 2. The Commissioner worked in Indore and has good experience of beautifying cities. 1. Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows. 2. Both of the conclusions follow. 3. Only conclusion II follows. 4. Only conclusion I follows. **Answer:** (Detailed Solution Below) **Option 1: Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.** ## Statements and Conclusions Question 2 Detailed Solution The Correct answer is **Option 1** **Key Points** Conclusion I: The people of city "A" are not aware of the present condition of the city. This conclusion does not logically follow from the statement. The Municipal Commissioner's statement focuses on the future task of beautifying the city but does not provide any indication about the awareness level of the people regarding the current condition of the city. Conclusion II: The Commissioner worked in Indore and has good experience of beautifying cities. This conclusion also does not logically follow from the statement. The Commissioner only mentions making city "A" beautiful like Indore but does not imply that they have worked in Indore or have specific experience beautifying cities. The statement does not provide enough information to assume this. Since neither conclusion I nor conclusion II logically follows from the given statement: **Hence, Option 1 is correct.** ## Question 3: **Statements:** N=P, P<F, F>L, L=K **Conclusions:** I. F=K II. F>K 1. If only conclusion I follows 2. If only conclusion II follows 3. If either conclusion I or II follows 4. If neither conclusion I nor II follows **Answer:** (Detailed Solution Below) Option 2: If only conclusion II follows ## Statements and Conclusions Question 3 Detailed Solution **Given Statements:** Statements: N=P, P<F, F>L, L=K **Important Points** **Conditions for Either - or** 1. Subject and predicate should be same 2. Both the individual conclusions must be false 3. Both the subject should have all the three possibilities i.e. >, <, = There can be only three possibilities between two subjects - A > B - A<B - A = B **Conclusions:** N = P <F> L = K Hence F ≥ K. Which means either I (F = K) or II (F > K) follows So, If only conclusion II follows Hence, the correct answer is **"Option 2".** ## Question 4: Read the Statement and Conclusions given and decide which of the Conclusions follow(s) from the Statement. **Statement:** Red-haired people love filing bikes. **Conclusions:** 1. All people love riding bikes. 2. Red-haired people love riding bikes only. 1. Only Conclusion II follows 2. Neither Conclusion I nor II follows 3. Only Conclusion I follows 4.

Both the Conclusions follow 2. Only Conclusion 2 follows 3. Neither Conclusion 1 nor 2 follows 4. Only Conclusion 1 follows **Answer:** (Detailed Solution Below) **Option 1: Both the Conclusions follow** ## Statements and Conclusions Question 5 Detailed Solution **Given,** **Assumptions:** 1. Ajay is the father of Shreyas, Suraj is the brother of Shreyas. 2. Seema is the mother of Shreyas. **Conclusions:** 1. Seema is the wife of Ajay - **True** (Because, if Ajay is the father of Shreyas and Seema is the mother of Shreyas, then it follows that Seema is likely to be Ajay's wife). 2. Seema is the mother of Suraj - **True** (Because, since Suraj is the brother of Shreyas and Seema is the mother of Shreyas, it follows that Seema is also the mother of Suraj). So, Both the conclusions follow. Hence, the correct answer is **"Option 1".** ## Top Statements and Conclusions MCQ Objective Questions ## Question 6: **Directions:** In the question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II.
